• Build accessible React and TypeScript user experiences and scalable Python APIs using Flask, FastAPI or comparable frameworks.
• Design and integrate RESTful services, asynchronous workflows and data-processing components.
• Implement secure data access using relational and NoSQL databases, with appropriate migrations, indexing and validation.
• Design and validate meaningful unit, component, integration, contract and feature-workflow tests.
• Review AI-generated code and tests, prevent circular validation and ensure quality gates pass.
• Configure and support CI/CD pipelines, containers and AWS services using infrastructure-as-code patterns.
• Diagnose production issues, contribute to incident reviews and improve observability and support documentation.
• Improve reusable components, engineering practices and developer experience.

• Self-motivated, innovative and analytical with strong attention to detail
• Strong sense of responsibility and service minded attitude
• Organized, accurate and self-motivated
• Think creatively and propose options/solutions to challenges
